The JVM is filling and reclaiming its heap space very rapidly

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • The JVM is filling and reclaiming its heap space very rapidly. The resulting GC activity causes performance issues.
  • GC logs show a collection occurs and frees most of the generation. This fills again in no time to cause another GC and this repeats.

Environment

  • Java
  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
